any time we go to the coast we have to stop by the union hotel for lunch or dinner. I love the ride to occidental. The food is excellent. I have never had better bruschetta. No one makes it like the union hotel. The atmosphere is unlike any restaurant.

We had the good fortune of discovering this property when we were traveling through Occidental. Hungry and in need of a place to stop before the next place on our journey, we had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Gonnella and her family. The hotel was fully booked or we would have stayed. The food was wonderful, so much so that... More

My family has been coming to the Union Hotel for 60+ years on special occasions. I took my Mom there for her b-day and wasn't disappointed. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than when I was younger, but the food is still superb and service great. We had the traditional roasted chicken meal. Everything was top quality, i.e. the... More

Barbara Gonnella and the Union Hotel always provide great service and a fun atmosphere with generous portions of great food! Plus, they are huge supporters of our community. They just donated dozens of cookies for my dauther's bake sale to support the East Bay Book Project. We highly recommend that you make the Union Hotel a "must" stop when you... More

I know that I have written many reviews for the Union Hotel, but I cannot applaud them enough for what they do. This restaurant is more than a 45 minute drive for us in each direction and it is well worth the trip. On the drive in we enjoy the ride through the countryside and anticipate the delights ahead of... More

We had great, friendly, attentive service. Our Chicken Parmesan was horribly overcooked. I even had burnt pasta. How does an Italian place not know how to cook pasta? The town was very cute, and our waitress was great, but I would not recommend this place to eat.

The staff was excellent, however, our entrees (ravioli and chicken Parmesan) were so over cooked we didn't even finish our meals! It was a very disappointing anniversary dinner.

Been there about 6-7 times over the years. this review is for my last visit on New Years Day. We ride up from San Francisco 100 Strong and this staff always seem to accommodate us, Portions are great, friendly staff (while serving 100 bikers) well i guess they like us. Fantastic meals and I love the atmosphere here.

We had the soup and salad, which may not be a fair sample of the food. Others said it was good. Ours was average.
